Any idea if Enix was locked into buying the Game Pak already for Star Ocean by use of battery-backed SRAM or not?

All the game paks (aka cartridges) were manufactured by Nintendo. By selling a licensed game, they were already locked in.

So it's just a question of "was the S-DD1 priced cheaper than another (or larger) ROM chip by Nintendo" right?
